Do the president even need to order? The army head should know that.

Hon. SuQ Ma'DIQ:

Shut up!!

The president is ontop of the situation. He has shown real guts in handling all the insecurity challenges sponsored by those sectional leaders seeking to govern this country. I trust GEJ's discretion. And with Maku as defence minister, you can be rest assured he will approach the restoration of peace in Nassarawa state with zeal and ion.

So he had to wait for the opposition to speak before he will do something - Kindergarten Presido - Always on Reactionary Mode.

Bright2: Do the president even need to order? The army head should know that.

I thot someone from Nassarawa is overseeing the defense Ministry? Maybe he is out of his depth

All these nasarawa people sef.

Gradually

I thought that in the time of democracy troops should be in the barracks and the police are to keep law and order. Retardeen seems not to know that one day these troops would eventually seize power from him.

Haba! When there is a C in C .You want the army chief to be held treason?

Isn't that what we want?

.

Seun your news are coming too late these days, I read this news on a friend's blog yesterday, kindly do something about it, well that's what he ought to do, there's no news in this in my opinion, Hausa's on the other hand can like to stop killing them selves thinking we are bothered, if not for some igbos,yorubas and ss that lives in the north, we don't care, we are tired already.

Praying that Peace will reign in Nigeria.
In God we trust!

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, ITS WHAT WE NEED, NOT WHAT WE WANT. LETS STOP DECEIVING OURSELVES. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED FOR NO REASON SINCE 1998. I DONT THINK THE MILITARY WOULD HAVE KILLED THIS MANY PEOPLE. DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR NIGERIA, AT LEAST NOT FOR NOW.

We seem to have one ethnic crisis to the other, when would Nigeria overcome this?

Another terrorist group in the making. I just hope they can handle d situation professionally n tactically cos this is how boko haram started.

At least actions r taken. Against d morons

Sorry, Where you born yesterday? Has Nigerian soldiers ever stayed in the barrack and let the polcie handle any conflict? even if it is a protest the military will be there. Why blame GEJ and call your papa retardeen for something that has been the norm even before GEJ becomes the vice president.

Instead of you to explain like someone with sense. The millitary's task is to defend the nation from external attacks and contain internal aggression ,don't just say shiit like a slowpoke

army will fight boko haram, army will go for peace keeping mission, army will fight war for naija if any, army will also fight insecurity in states.... wetin police dey do? abi na to collect bribe dem knw? ...i think it is time to look into this police matter because i don't see the reason why army troops should handle police matter.

May God bring peace to our nation Nigeria and let all this boko haram boys die a shameful death like their late leaders, Sheik Yusuf and Sheik Shekau.

When will all this stop. The violence in this nation is so much and growing by the day!
The painful part is that the both the victim and perpetrators are human and all casualties Nigerian,
I think peace and conflict resolution should be in our primary and secondary school curriculum and made compulsory.
Violence is just everywhere

Welcome to Federal Republic of Arewanistan where Human lives worth nothing...SMH for the North
